Catholic Church ready to declare war on Obama

From the campaign trail last month, GOP contender Newt Gingrich said US President Barack Obama had declared a “war on the Catholic Church.” Some clergy have heard that call and are warning the president: look out, we’re ready to rumble.

Responding to the Obama-mandated health insurance policies, Catholic leaders throughout America are outraged over what is being perceived by some as a serious assault on their religion. Under Obama’s health care plan, Catholic hospitals and universities will be required to offer free birth control to employees. While the law will not include entities with solely religious purposes, such as churches, it will extend to church-affiliated companies that do not exclusively support a religious-minded agenda. 

Under the provision put forth last month by the president, health plans provided by Roman Catholic institutions that cover non-Catholics must front the cost of “all FDA approved contraceptives, including those that induce abortion.”Even if the policy is aimed at only a section of the church, Catholic leaders say Obama’s insurance plan is an attempt to take down the church by infiltrating it with God-less ideals on their religion, and according to some, they won’t go down without a fight.

Bill Donohue of the Catholic League says the move is a milestone in terms of taking on the Church, and tells CBS News that it is “unprecedented in American history …for the federal government to line up against the Roman Catholic Church.”

1. The Catholic church's religious beliefs are irrelevant in it's role as an employer.

2. Many non-Catholics work for the Catholic church and paying MORE to deny them contraception constitutes a corporate denial of THEIR religious freedom.

3. Yes, policies which have no contraceptive plan cost MORE than those which do cover contraception. Hospital costs due to child birth and the usual yearly medical costs for a child who will also be covered under the parent's plan, though contraception was not, does not come cheap. In fact it's a lot more expensive to insurance companies than providing contraception, hence the premium on no-contraception policies.

This is just the Catholic church being punk ass about not being able to force their religious beliefs on their employees.
